The hugely successful author tells Wonderland magazine she chose the red-haired Ron for Hermione for very personal reasons having little to do with literature. She told the magazine she “wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment” and said the couple might eventually need relationship counselling.
Of the two of them, it was Hermione who realized she liked Ron first as she dropped heavy hints in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire of her attraction.
Hermione sees Harry as only a friend so she has no trouble hugging him. The same is not true of Ron who she has stronger, unacknowledged feelings for. She doesn't want to hug him for fear it will become immediately and plainly obvious to him and even Harry how she feels about Ron.
Shortly before the third and final task, Viktor heard the rumors of Hermione and Harry having a romantic relationship, especially after reading about it in the tabloids. However, Harry had to clarify that his and Hermione's relationship was strictly platonic, showing his support for Viktor and Hermione's relationship.
J.K. Rowling Says Hermione Should Have Ended Up With Harry Potter, Not Ron. Well, everything you thought you knew about love is a lie. Turns out J.K. Rowling thinks she made a huge mistake by pairing Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter novels.
The explanation is very simple - Harry has a very strong sexual desire for Ginny. He has no such feelings for Hermione. Sex is a fundamental aspect of adult relations. Sex is, in fact, the characteristic that defines the difference between a platonic relationship and a romantic one.
Ron never apologized openly by saying “sorry". Since the books are Harry's pov, we don't have many apology moments in the books. Even in Gof, when Ron hurt her, it is not outright stated that he apologized. They were simply being civil to each other the next day.
SHE SHOULD HAVE DUMPED HIM: When He Used Lavender To Make Her Jealous. Having said that, Hermione did sort of have a reason to be annoyed at Ron. It was pretty clear to everyone involved (and everyone watching from afar) that Ron was only with Lavender to make Hermione jealous.
They saved Buckbeak using the time turner, so why not stop Voldemort using it too? The ministry set up certain rules regulating the use of time turners so that wizards wouldn't accidentally kill their future selves upon encountering them.
Ron first began showing signs of romantic interest in Hermione in their second year; he was irritated by her crush on Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, became so angry that Draco Malfoy called her a "Mudblood" that he tried to hex him, and was even more upset than Harry when she became one of the victims of the basilisk.
Hermione and Viktor Krum
From even the earlier films, we all knew Hermione Granger was meant for Ron Weasley. But before their ultimate expression of love in the final film, Hermione went to the Yule Ball with one of the Triwizard Tournament's champions, Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski), in Goblet of Fire.
That other time he made Hermione cry
Before the Yule Ball: The first was Ron realising that he didn't have a date for the Yule Ball, the school dance that celebrates the Triwizard Tournament.
He was jealous, but this jealousy stemmed from the sense that Hermione, whom he had always taken for granted, was his.
Even though Harry does not actually slip Ron any of the Felix Felicis potion, the suggestion of luck ultimately proves just as powerful as the potion itself. This episode is an example of how the mind is more powerful than the body, a theme that emerges repeatedly in the Harry Potter series.
Albus Dumbledore left Ron the Deluminator in his will, but besides it being useful for taking the light from a place, it was unclear exactly why he had bequeathed it to Ron… until he did something devastating. He abandoned Harry and Hermione on their hunt for Horcruxes.
Ron and Harry had their first big falling-out
Although the Goblet of Fire picked Harry to be a Triwizard champion very much against his will, Ron thought Harry put his own name forward and the pair promptly fell out. Ron wrestled with his jealousy of Harry's notoriety and Harry felt more alone than ever.
BECAUSE HERMIONE WAS IN LOVE WITH RON, NOT HARRY. Hermione's feelings for Harry are sibling-like, not romantic. Also, she actually saw Ron and Lavender, while she only heard about Harry and Cho second-hand from Harry.
Hermione explains that the hourglass is a Time-Turner; she has been using it all year to get to all her classes. Professor McGonagall instructed her to tell no one about it.
Cho Chang famously gave Harry Potter his first-ever kiss – but the actress who played her has one major regret about the momentous scene.
Lavender is Ron's first girlfriend, and she has a knack for coming up with the most awesome nicknames for him. Our favorite is "Won-Won" (think baby talk). She and Ron get very cozy in Book 6, but eventually Ron grows a little tired of her shrieky, giggly, possessive ways.
“I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That's how it was conceived, really,” Rowling says in the interview. “For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.”
He did not love anyone, and did not care to be loved. He felt nothing for his family, and only wanted his friends in school to rally around him because he wanted to hold power over them. Bellatrix Lestrange was obviously in love with him and worshiped him, but he only cared for her servitude, not her.
“Harry was constantly crushing on Draco. He just couldn't hide it.” In the books and movies, Harry and Draco are constantly at each other's throats, given that Draco's parents are Voldemort supporters and the evil wizard killed Harry's parents.
Likewise, when Ron leaves in Deathly Hallows, it's because of his own insecurities and the feeling that Harry and Hermione would be better off without him.
